Jovanovic has been handed the reins of the U20 national team, replacing former Krka Novo Mesto and Lietuvos Rytas boss Aleksandar Dzikic, who had coached the side during the last two years and led them to the semi-finals last summer.

The U20 Serbian national team will compete at the European Championship in Estonia from 9-21 July, with approximately half of the players on the 2012 roster eligible to return this year.
